Buying new wheels, need brake assistance.

[NCamiolo]

So as soon as the holiday weekend is up I am putting in an order for new wheels and tires. I'm thinking it would be a good time to upgrade my brakes as well since I'm planning a 6G75 swap also in the future. Are there any highly recommended brake kits amongst you more knowledgeable guys. Or maybe certain rotors and caliper combos that work well together. I just want to make sure I don't get something that will be too big or no better than stock V6 brakes.

Here are the new wheels:

I have had Motegi wheels on my G since 2001 and no complaints, still loving them. You can get some R1 concept rotors, don't go cheap on pads. My pads cost a lil more than my r1concept rotors.

Been texting spdrcr and he recommended the R1s too, I'll look into them for sure then. Also, he thinks I should go with posi queit pads.

Ok so I'm pretty sure I'm getting R1 cross drilled/slotted rotors. As far as the Posi Quiet pads go, I'm game, but should I go with the semi-metallic extended wear or Ceramic? Pros and Cons of each?

I'm not sure on the pros & cons of these pads however I personally have a pair of the semi-metallic extended wear & I love them. U should try them as well. Next brake pads I get will b ceramic.

Couldn't wait any longer to spend money lol, so I ended up getting Ceramics before I saw the post. Pretty pumped to install everything. Looking forward to good traction and stopping power!

Ceramic basically gives you good stopping power, low noise and low dust, semi metallic have better initial bite then the ceramics but I think they produce more dust and I don't know about noise. When I asked R1 for low dust, low noise pads he recommended the ceramic posi quiets.

Works for me, plus they cost just slightly less that the semi-metallic extended life, and just a little more that nore semi-metallic. Nice price as far as I'm concerned. Car has shit tires and traction currently, messed up wheels, and terrible beat brakes. I'm pumped to start swapping stuff again.

Yeah it runs fine lol, just did valve gaskets and spark plug seals, and had oil changed. Drove it yesterday actually, but since it needs new tires and brakes I'm trying to not use it too much. I need to work on the comfort level a bit too, cuz it's just so far from my BMW lol. Thinking about leather front seats soon and then doing the suspension for the next project.

so, ceramic pads work good with stock rotors?, i have a 1999 gtz and i put new rotors but the pad are cheap, and in hi speed breaks suck,

[NCamiolo]

So far I like the braking ability of my new ceramics, but i'm no brake expert!
